A man shot at least once in a road rage incident at about 5 p.m.Thursday was on the phone with police as he followed the other driver.

The two men had gotten into an argument near West Bypass and West Division.

"It was a road rage incident," said Lt. Chad McIntyre, with Springfield police. "A couple of guys got into an argument. One guy fired a gun. One person was hit. It was a serious injury."

Punches were thrown, he said.

Despite being shot, the injured driver followed the other car.

McIntyre advised members of the public not to do that.

"Pull over and get medical attention," he said.

Neither driver had a passenger.

McIntyre said there was not a police chase.

The three vehicles cars stopped at the intersection of North Boonville Avenue and West Nichols Street, across Boonville from the main Greene County Jail. It is about four miles from Division and West Bypass.

The other vehicle, a Scion, was parked nearby on West Nichols Street; one of the wiper blades on the vehicle was bent and sticking out from the windshield.

Richard Ames, a bondsman at Hilton, told the News-Leader that the police officer had his gun drawn as he approached the Scion from the rear. The driver got on the ground and subsequently was handcuffed and placed in the back of a police car.

The person shot was taken to the hospital.
